What is the focus of today's podcast episode?
Hello, fellow gamers, and welcome to the Video Gamers Podcast. It's very common for a game's artwork to capture our attention quickly, but what about the animation side of things? The people that take a game from concept art to interactive experience. Is animation as time-consuming as we think? What sets good animation apart from bad animation? Well, today we're going to find out as we dive into the world of art and animation in gaming. But first, some introductions are in order. I am your host, Josh. And joining me, a lot of you see him in 2D, but if he turns sideways, believe me, the 3D side of his face comes out. Ew. Ew. That's right.
How many, you know... I can't stop. I am self-described with this big old nose of mine. But that's two in a row you put me on blast on the episodes, man.
Who are the hosts and guest in this episode?
I can do that because as a fellow big-nosed person, man, you know... Oh, look at... Yes, we're on.
Oh, I can smell colors. That's all. Oh, man.
And joining us, the man with more talent in his little finger than Ryan and I combined is Psychosan. Hey, nice to be here. Great to see you guys. Man, it is awesome. It is awesome to have you, Psychosan. Thank you so much for joining us, man.
Hi, it's always a pleasure. I always love talking about animation and video games as well. So yeah, looking forward to it.
This is great. So Saiko-san, I'm just gonna start off with the fact that you have already made an impression on this podcast with some of your art. So the rest of this episode is gonna be very easy. For those that aren't aware, you did actually draw our kind of mascots that we have for this podcast now, which was really awesome to see kind of go from just a concept of, hey, let's have three little guys that kind of represent us, To your just kind of drawing of them in a, you know, just without any color or anything and say, hey, you know, how does this look? And we were all kind of blown away. And then to see the progress of you coloring them and designing them and kind of arranging them and all that has been awesome. So I know a lot of our listeners are already familiar with some work that you have done and the talent that you have in that regard.
What makes animation crucial in video games?
Um, but for people that don't know, you have also done a good bit of animation work in gaming and not only in gaming, but a Katy Perry video that we will talk about a little bit later as well. Um, and so we are really excited to have you join us and really kind of give us some insight into art and animation and how that ties into gaming and just the world as, as a whole as well. So, uh,
Yeah, I hope I can inspire some people in the way. That'd be cool. Yeah, animation is a great world, and it's just like video games. It's full of similar things, you know? It's very close, so yeah.
It's neat because it's like, I think as gamers, you know, and I kind of touched on that where it's like we see, you know, a new game come out and we go, oh, man, the art style in this game is beautiful. Like we just talked to the some of the developers for a game called Tales of Iron 2. It's an indie game. Really, really neat, unique kind of art style there. And it's one of those things where everybody goes like, oh, man, the art in this game is awesome. But as gamers, we don't ever talk about animation. Without animation, we don't have video games. But it's one of those things where I think it's kind of a blind spot for us. So that's one reason we're really excited to have you on the show and kind of just get a look into some of that stuff.
Because I think it's something that we don't necessarily put enough emphasis on. And we're dying to know a little bit more about it. Yeah. And so that's one of those things that we have been doing. We've been talking to different people in the industry. We've chatted with some voice actors. We've chatted with some game developers, some designers. Now we're talking with you, obviously, to kind of get a look at that side of things, which is really exciting for us. But we always like to kind of start off because we are a gaming podcast. And we like to just say, hey, let's chat games for a little bit so people can kind of get to know you a little bit more as well.
